Speaking about corrupt legislation in past years
Speaker Hustled said Sometimes there was an openness
in the operations Of legislative strikers that was posi-
tyey amazing Once upon time it is related there was
a Governor who could be influenced and who some |
times endeayOred to influence He had secretary who
did the dirty work of negotiation At that time GOV

There is not slightest probability OF the confirmation
OF General Sicklos Immigration Commissioner. The
law creating this Office passed by the Democrats In
1888 1t adds $4,000 year TO the expenses OF the
state and has been annually saved by the Re
publican Senate in refusing to confirm any one for the

treasury q retired Msjor-Genera and he recently In

that he should think of accepting the
